Yep! At end of the aforementioned Middie cruise in the summerr of '72, we were all consolidated for the flight back to CONUS at Clarke and if I remember correctly we were put up in a hotel in Baggio 'til rooms opened up at the "Q". A typhoon was blowing through and when it cleared out, there was a "coming out of the rain" Party at the O-club and all drinks were 5 cents, i.e. a beer was a nickel a mixed drink was a nickel, a double was ten cents, etc...YAHOO!!!

There were some HUNGOVER Middies on the flight back the next day sick but it sure was fun !

I got married about a week later and reported to flight school a couple of weeks after that.
